4 Ways Creatine Supplementation Can Help You Become The Ultimate
Warrior
Throughout the ages, stories have been told about great warriors. Stories that
have stood the test of time and are still being told, whether it’s on the big screen
or at bedtime. Stories of legends. While there is no way to prove if some of the
heroes in these stories really performed some of the feats they became famous
for, they all had certain common traits. One of those traits is the incredible
strength they displayed during periods of extreme duress. From biblical stalwarts
like King David and Sampson to modern day greats such as Nelson Mandela and
Mohammed Ali, these persons all exhibited incredible levels of physical and
mental strength to defy the odds and overcome their difficult circumstances.
Many of us mere mortals may never get to the levels of greatness reached by the
heroes and heroines of history and days to come. However, as many unsung
heroes can attest to, being a warrior does not necessarily mean fame. With the
right lifestyle choices, becoming a warrior and a potential legend is within reach
of all who dare to try. And trying may be as simple as taking the right
supplements. Here are four ways to become a warrior with creatine
supplementation.
Building Physical Strength
Physical strength, like mental strength, is very important to battle the many
obstacles faced on a daily basis and the two usually have to be in sync. However,
building physical strength can be an often fruitless pursuit, with many spending
hours at the gym with little to no improvement to show for their efforts. This,
despite many hours of lifting weights, grueling aerobic routines and strict diets
which were ‘guaranteed’ to help boost muscle and increase strength. As a matter
of fact, in some cases, there is even a regression, with persons getting weaker and
fatter instead of getting stronger and buffer. Not so with creatine. Creatine
supplements have been shown time and time again to boost muscle strength,
power and size. While size is subjective, warriors need stronger muscles to
overcome physical obstacles and help others who may need the intervention of
their physical presence. Creatine is already present in the body but burns out
pretty quickly during high intensity activities. Various studies quoted on sites such
as Menshealth.com have shown that creatine supplementation actually resulted
in increased muscle strength and size. Additionally, an Italian study backed by the
University of Rome indicated that athletes who supplemented on creatine were
able to jump higher and run faster by up to 12% more. Warriors, for whatever
reason, may need that extra oomph and that’s where creatine supplements come
in. They provide that extra edge that allows warriors to do that much more, go
the extra mile…Be more.
Building Confidence
Being confident starts from within but a great body helps to bring it off even
more. That said, it is not hard to see why men with tapered ‘V’ physiques and
women with well-proportioned assets usually flaunt what they have. As a matter
of fact, that’s why the health and fitness industry continues to be a thriving multi-
billion dollar industry. Because people realize the important link between how
they look and their real or perceived level of confidence. Particularly for men,
confidence is intricately tied to testosterone levels. In other words, low
testosterone levels often mean lower confidence. The same is true of the
opposite. A study conducted by the Department of Health and Exercise Science at
The College of New Jersey showed that creatine supplementation was linked to
increased testosterone levels. Testosterone is also present in women and while
the effect may be different, women who are comfortable with how they look are
often more confident than those who aren’t. Whether male or female, warriors
are confident people.
Increased Brain Function
Warriors are quick thinkers. They make split-second decisions on their feet and
can run entire organizations in tandem with running their homes and fulfilling any
other social demand on their already fast paced existences. So what’s the link
with creatine you might ask? Well, a 2003 study conducted by a research team in
Australia showed that subjects who supplemented on 5 grams of creatine per day
for six weeks, exhibited enhanced neurological abilities. This means that they
were able to process information faster and had better memories, making them
seem even smarter. Warriors are not necessarily the smartest people but their
speed in thinking, quick wits and ability to remember the most important details
allow them to seem mentally superior. Creatine, as demonstrated by the
aforementioned research can definitely help aspiring warriors to achieve that
sharp mind that can mean the difference between awesome and average.
Cheapest Way to Become a Warrior
That’s right, creatine is one of the cheapest methods available to help one
become a warrior. Not that any real price can be put on becoming a desirable
human being that others look up to and dream of emulating but if there ever was,
using creatine would amount to the lowest cost. Creatine, especially in the form
of creatine monohydrate, is one of the cheapest supplements available on the
market. That’s one of the main reasons why many athletes use creatine. Another
reason is that it’s totally safe, especially when compared to banned steroids.
Compared to other supplements, studies show that persons achieve their desired
results quicker while on creatine and in some cases, at a fraction of the cost of
other popular supplements. No wonder it’s a favorite of athletes and
bodybuilders. Warriors need to save money too, right?
Becoming a warrior is by no means an easy task. As a matter of fact, due to the
immense responsibility that comes along with such a status, many stop short or
shy away from fulfilling their warrior potential. Therefore, the few who dare or
have the audacity to become their best warrior selves, are those who are not
afraid of doing what is right for their bodies and minds…and what works.
However, while warrior boosters such as creatine may help aspirants to achieve
such status, it should be noted that there are other components to becoming a
warrior. Many of those components lie in one’s personality, determination and
humanitarian consideration. Creatine supplementation should therefore be seen
as a vehicle to transport those other warrior components, especially when
combined with hard work and discipline
